Here is a new track I wrote and recorded.

The song was written as part of a concept album that I started a year or so ago. I may never actually record the full album but might release the songs over time. The album was going to be about my ancestors living in Newfoundland and the stories i heard over the years.

This one is about the story of how Braggs Island (where my grandfather was born) got its name. I heard the story from my late cousin Sam Feltham. He said there was a small community living on the Island and one tough winter they ran out of supplies and were in a bad way. A man named Bragg and his two sons loaded a boat with supplies and attempted to bring relief to them. In the process and storm developed and the ship sank and Bragg and his sons were drowned. They named the Island after them in honor of the selfless sacrifice they made.

I tried to capture with sound the feeling of sailing on icy seas. Also I wanted to tell the story in an artistic way. Not sure if the song is any good but hope some of you enjoy it.

I am a solo recording artist who produces his own original music in Tweed Heads West, NSW, Australia.
 
My songs are released under the band name Retrospection. The joy and satisfaction I get from making music and sharing it, is my reward, although I do like to receive some recognition for my efforts!

Back in December 1963, after graduating from high school in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, I formed the rock band The Avengers in which I played lead guitar and sang backing vocals. We were semi-professional, playing any or all of the nights from Friday through to Sunday.

After two years I had to leave the band to take up a teaching career. Throughout my life I kept up (unpaid) entertainment as extra-curricular activities in the various schools in which I worked.

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to give live performances because of health problems.

I enjoy playing guitar a great deal....especially Blues/Rock. Not very confident with my singing yet, still experimenting. 

Thanks also for taking the time to listen to me firstly. Secondly, I'd love it if anyone out there feels like adding some vocals, a bass line, maybe some keyboards or whatever else takes your fancy!! No rules really. The only rule I go by is "Does it sound good? -Yes, then keep it...No, then trash it!"...

I have also dabbled and recorded with loops and samples to create some Minimal Techno under the name of "Love Atom" if you're interested!!
I've got a great deal of lyrics without music and a lot of music without lyrics....ideas all over the place. 

Recently I've been doing some home recording and just seeing what happens really.

I love jamming as well...if you happen to live in the Brisbane area (I live in Morningside) and would like to meet up for a jam please message me anytime and I'll try to meet up with you somehow. Unfortunately I don't have a car at the moment but I'll do my best to meet up.

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!

We are the  messengers from the village. {thank you for the new listens, follows, and repost. peace,love and understanding.} From the dark musty basements of american music comes "Page of Pentacles". Developed by Zric Miller with lyrics by Dr. Robert Miller. This space age americana grunge mariachi band now counts the time together in years. The band seeks friends and conversation. Comprised mostly of imaginary friends and discarded members from other bands.]
